Head of Pakistan's Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam has stressed the war that the United States launched in the region under the pretext of fighting terrorism is actually against Islam and Muslims.

“Islamic countries should know that the United States intends to defame the face of Islam and Islamic States, not fighting terrorism,” Maulana Fazlur Rehman said yesterday in Islamabad, capital of Pakistan.

Head of Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam added Saudi Arabia should cut off relations with the United States and expand ties with Islamic world, because US is not a friend of Riyadh.

Maulana Fazlur Rehman stated: “Muslims are members of terrorist groups in US perspective. That is why, wars and conflicts only occur in Islamic countries. Washington trick some of the Islamic States in this field deceitfully.”
